A new dispute has erupted between Greek seismologists Gerasimos Papadopoulos and Efthymis Lekkas, not over earthquakes, but concerning a mysterious smell that recently covered the Attica region.

The president of OASP, Efthymis Lekkas, provided new details regarding a mysterious gas odor that covered Athens, particularly its southern suburbs, weeks ago, suggesting it was likely due to a gas leak from a ship.

Greek seismologist Efthymis Lekkas reassures the public that a specific region is unlikely to produce a major earthquake, with Vassilis Karastathis clarifying it's not the same area as previous seismic events in May 2025.
